Stadler wins extended EMU order

Stadler (www.stadlerrail.com) has received an order from AB Transitio for eight more double-decker electric multiple units (EMUs); this forms part of the contract signed in 2016 relating to 33 EMUs with an option of 110.

The trains will be used by Sweden’s Uppsala Länstrafik for commuter and regional transport services. The trains in question are designed to offer “excellent resistance” to severe winter weather, as demonstrated by their use in Norway, Finland, Estonia, Russia and Belarus.
